Running akebono here. Quiet, good for street use, and noticeably less dust compared to oem
Today I just installed Akebono ProACT (ceramic) in the rear. Very very happy with them. Stopping is still very good, they’re dead silent and dusting should be a ton less.
I use Akebonos. Good stopping power without too much bite.
I've had my 2013, 89,000 miles, which isn't *that* old but still, and have had zero mechanical problems. Only maintenance and expected repairs like brake pads or air filters.
Akebono Euro pads
I own a BM Mazda 3 and I changed them one year and half ago and they work as expected (at the dealership, it was expensive).
2032 fit fine in mine as well. I noticed the remote lock button was not working from more than a few car lengths when cold and decided it was time before I ran into other issues.
I just did brakes on my 2017 330. I got Brembo rotors, and Akebono pads. They're excellent brakes, akebono pads are highly recommended, and Brmebo holds its own.
I just changed them out for zimmerman blanks and akebono pads. I will likely do the same for the front to decrease some of the dust as well. Slightly less initial bite on the pads, but still good brake feel.
On any modern BMW model those pads make the pedal noticeably softer, to the point where it almost feels like air in the lines. I've swapped many sets out due to clients being unhappy with the feel. Works fine on older ones though.
